Has there been any word on Image discussing with IDW how to reprint it? I doubt they'll leave it in black and white, but I wonder if IDW will ask an Image artist to colorize it.

I haven't heard anything about how they plan to reprint it but I would imagine they would go with one of their own colorists. Didn't some other studio color the classics? I'm not sure. Maybe they'll go that route.

TMNT Vol. 3 (Image) #24 & #25 were printed and released some time ago. They're also very sold out. They're both viewable as digital downloads... link in my sig.

"Odyssey" is almost out and, in fact, already is out in hardcover in Russia. A digital download will follow at some point after its physical release, but probably not for a while.

Why didn't we get hardcovers? Too expensive to print/ship?

after seeing those hardcovers, I'd favor them too, even if that would mean paying some additional fee. (it can't be that much expensive, and the postal fee is about the same I think, maybe the packaging is a tiny bit more money, but that's it)

For me, Lawson is pretty much the best thing what happened to Mirage TMNT. City at War, v2, v4, stories like Blind Sight, or The Brain Thief are all drawn or written or scripted by him, and all awesome. He is at least as much original TMNT as Eastman or Laird was. He is awesome!

Man Andrew, you really never stop...and I love it! Seeing this after I ordered volumes 4 and 5 of TMNT: The Ultimate Collection for my birthday is great indeed.

"Odyssey" was really going to be the final word from me on Mirage TMNT, but "Origin" came to me and I couldn't shake it out of my head. In many ways, even without a bunch of multiversal goings on, it's an even bigger and far more expansive story than "Odyssey."

I mean, even if there weren't any TMNT characters in it at all (though where's the fun in that?), the story is still getting into fundamental issues (which might be kind of controversial) of why are we here, creation, who or what is responsible, what is the bigger picture and plan for not just mankind but... everything. It's spirituality viewed through a lens of hard science fiction.

You might even see the Great Turtle again.

Will you be funding it similarly to Odyssey? And if so, when might we expect that to open up to support?

Not crossing that bridge or even looking at that until, #1: Everyone has "Odyssey" in their hands and that's completely out of the queue, and #2: Origin is fully written and polished. I'll reach out to a couple of Turtle vets to go over my draft as well.

Hey Andrew, when are you going to start taking orders? Are you going to run a kick starter like you did for the other book? I'm excited.

Couldn't be bothered to read four posts above your's, eh?
